Newton's 3 laws of motion, name one or explain one.
In the first law (law of inertia), an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law (law of force & acceleration), the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law (law of action & reaction), when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

When a rocket is launched and is going at the speed of light after leaving the atmosphere, why does it continue going at that speed even though it doesn’t have the fuel to do so?
After being launched it only requires energy to get out of Earth’s atmosphere, and since space is a vacuum, Newton’s 1st law (an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it) comes into play and if nothing stops the rocket it will continue going at the same speed.
